While the trailers made it seem like they finally would make a good Steven King movie (besides Misery, Shawshank, and Dolores Claboirne), it turned out to be just like the rest: awful. Besides some decent special effects and mildly amusing banter between the group of four guys, Dreamcatcher is torturous. I thought about walking out about halfway through, and I really should have, but instead stayed for the appropriately terrible ending. I'd tell you specifically why this movie is so bad, but I'm basically trying to erase it from my mind. The plot was just so dumb, the characters were dumb, the dialogue was horrendous... and the child actors were about the focal point of Dreamcatcher's idiocy. Please, do me a favor and don't see this movie. Actually, watch the Animatrix short beforehand and then LEAVE, just LEAVE, otherwise you will have a solid two hours stolen from your life.
